红云深处有仙家（中英双语）

红云深处有仙家

There’re Immortals in the Depths of the Red Cloud

——农大赏红枫

—Appreciating Red Maples in Agricultural University

中文｜张清明 (Zhang Qingming)

英译｜周柯楠 (Zhou Kenan)

且不奢谈要溯流而上

Now don't talk about going up the stream

去聆听梦里的溪声淙淙

To listen to the babbling brook in the dream

在现代化都市的喧嚣里

In the hustle and bustle of the modern city

只要能钻进一片林子

As long as you can get into a forest

把一带青翠揽入怀中

And take the green belt into your arms

或是拾起几瓣落叶留住秋空

Or pick up a few fallen leaves to keep the autumn air

或是握住一阵鸟鸣回味空响

Or hold a burst of birdsong and savor the empty sound

那都是惬意无限的人世清欢

You can enjoy unlimited human pleasures

在农大初冬的艳色里

In the bright color of Agricultural University in early winter

两个小时极象是醉了一个世纪

Two hours is like a century of intoxication

*

围着图书馆的四周猎色

Hunting for beauty around the library

红枫与银杏用彩妆主导着世界

Red maples and ginkgo trees dominating the world with colours

可以就一处枯黄的草坡坐下

I can sit down on a yellow grassy slope

却忘了寒气冰棱

But I forgot the attack of the cold

迎面走来持着枫叶的姑娘

A girl comes towards me with maple leaves in her hand

身着大红装

Dressed in bright red

把叶子踩得吱吱作响

Stepping on the leaves, rustling

抛出几朵浅笑

Throwing a few smiles

让摄影师酣然抢媚

Letting the photographer merrily take pictures of her charm

*

把岳麓山从河西搬到雨花大道

Move Yuelu Mountain from Hexi to Yuhua Avenue

把省植物园从天际岭搬到红旗路

Move the Provincial Botanical Park from Tianji Ridge to Hongqi Road

把同升湖学校的语文课搬到红枫下

Move the Chinese class of Tongsheng Lake School to the red maple forest

农大的红枫如冬日的主人大方气派

The red maple of Agricultural University is as generous as the master of winter

在三千亩校园的世界里

In the world of three thousand acres of campus

做着清冽的白马之梦

I have a clear dream of being Prince Charming

你可以随意挑几树钟情的，衬托

You can casually pick a few trees you love as a foil

也可以登上某一面缓坡，徐行

You can also climb a gentle slope, walking slowly

可以看腊梅吐出豆豆大的骨朵

You can watch wintersweets spit out buds the size of a bean

还可以看某男子注目某个大红身影

You can also watch a gentleman gazing at a bright red figure

看银杏如何点燃一路金黄

See how ginkgo trees ignite all the way golden

看枝繁叶密处是否隐藏

And see if the dense branches and leaves

夏天蝉鸣的飞扬

Hide the flying of cicadas in summer

然后，看微信群里呼叫连天

Then, you can read the lively messages in WeChat group

看九宫格里装不下的

And finally look at the spring in winter

冬天里的春天
